What do you think about the bag? I was going to go to the dealer and pick one up, but not sure about it, considering the price of it compared to the other brands. Is it worth the money?

Man, I wish I could tell you, but I haven't really seen any of my upgrades. My bike was stock, I picked it up from the dealer, rode it for a week and a half, dropped the bike back off at the dealer and flew back to Iraq. I haven't seen it since

I need to put a disclaimer on my posts or something :P Any case, long story short, I don't really know. I know it looks good enough in a pic, as far as it's use? Well, that's another story for when I come home.

I know I got a discount when I bought my HD bag, buit I am happy with it. I measured it last night and its about 3 1/2" thick. Holds a good amount and looks really nice. I just wish the back was leather also (its plastic), but who knows, maybe its better the way it since you can't see that side and it faces the wheel where dirt will collect. In any event, I think its worth the $150 or so I paid for it.

One question I do have for those that have a bag, especially on the Lo, does it ever drag the ground while turning or will your primary hit before the bag? Just curious. I don't want to spend money on something that I'm going to destroy eventually!! LOL
